    Quest to get to Drop F# on a 26.5 seven.

    Currently searching for thick enough strings for this. I usually play 10-56s in Drop A. Right now I'm looking at a stringjoy set that is 12-72. It says it will add about 10 pounds of tension, so it'll probably require some set up, if anyone knows a better set please let me know. I'm also worried...

    Super-low tuners: what do you "do" with your guitar?

    This is geared primarily towards six-string players who tune, say, lower than B standard, but higher than E1 standard, but I'm also happy to hear input from any extended-range players who cover a similar range. I have a 27" baritone that alternates between G and F# standard just for kicks. Most...

    Tremolo stopper on a Floyd Rose-equipped 6-string for low tunings?

    First of all, I apologize for the length and details of this post. I wish to thank each of you for taking a couple minutes in understanding my actual doubt. I tried to point out my needs clearly; please forgive any lack - english is not my native language. The fact I want to buy a "standard"...

    Large Strings? Kalium Strings?

    So my question is, have any of you guys played around with really large strings? I ordered.. .102 .067 .049 .037 .026 .018 .013 for my Schecter KM-7 FR S. Playing in drop E. I don't even know if that string will fit through the locking nut. I used their tension calculator for the...

    7 string purchase advice

    Hey, This is my first post so I hope I've placed it in the right thread. My band have just changed our tuning from drop G on sevens to also having a low D on top of that. We're not wanting to move to 8's so are sticking with the tuning of DGDGCFA It's going to cost me enough to get my...

    Best tube setup for my Peavey Valve King

    Hey all, So my Valve King is in serious need of being retubed.. I had some Slovakian Gold Series Groove Tubes in there for a while, and they ripped! but unfortunately with my experience with Groove Tubes, they tend to blow quickly when you are gigging and stressing them constantly. (The...

    Help with tuning pegs?

    Hey all, My band has recently decided to tune our 7 string guitars and 5 string bass down two whole tones to G. The heaviest string i could find at my local guitar shop was a .068 which it turns out is too big to fit through the hole in my tuning peg. Could anyone recommend me a method to...

    Used Ibanez RG2228a vs New Ibanez S8QM

    Hello everyone! I have $1100, I can get either an RG2228a (2 years of use, stock Dimarzio pickups, slight scretches on the back and a small dent on the case) or a brand new S8QM (with hardcase and BKP Juggernauts) What should I get? Is the Prestige neck really worth it? Also any...

    In Dire Need of Mixing Help - Melodic, Low, Percussive, & Powerful

    I am having trouble with a woofy cymbal sound in the mix (especially the accent cymbals), but I have no compression on it, and there is very little competition in the high frequency spectrum, so I am confused on the cause of this. Also, I am looking for a more pronounced snare, without...

    Pickups for LOW TUNINGS. Drop G, F#, E

    Hey it's Josh again, i'm trying to find the perfect pickups to fit my Schecter c-7. I play very low tunings such as the ones above (G,F#,E) And i've been thinking to myself that my pickups need replaced, they're too muddy sounding. What pickups do you assure will fit these tunings, and also...

    Converting Warmoth 5 string bass into a 7 string sub-baritone guitar

    Hello folks. I've lately been playing around ideas for how to achieve insanely low tunings, like lower than a normal 8 string, while still maintaining a tonal footprint similar to that of a guitar rather than a bass. One theory I have is converting an extended range bass into an extended range...

    Probing the depths... (experimental DIY madness inside)

    How low can one go? I can't say, but I'm gonna find out. As some of you may know, my experimental extreme electronic project The Surfacing has ventured heavily into the implementation of softsampled guitar sounds, and at some point in the process of building these tables of thousands of...
